Establishing a balance between your strength, flexibility and training is the key to success in any sporting activity or running/walking regime. At Therapeutic Associates Inc, we have designed an Injury Prevention Clinic to start off your training on the right foot, alleviate any aches or pains, and assure that you are on the correct path to a healthy fitness regime.

Program Components:

• The program starts with a quick intake of your history, including your current training, injuries and stretching habits.
• We then move into a flexibility screening, lower extremity strength testing and assessment of your balance/proprioception.
• This is followed by instruction in specific exercises, based on our findings, which are unique to your individual needs.
• Next we move on to video analysis to assess your biomechanical presentation and to assure that you are in the right shoe for your foot type and movement pattern.
• We then replay the video with you, providing education on normal biomechanics and how you present in motion.

You leave the session after approximately 30 minutes of one on one time, with an exercise program, the results of your video analysis and the feeling of support from a team that cares about your health and sucess in achieving your fitness goals.

Who would benefit:

Runners and walkers of all levels would benefit from our injury prevention clinic.
